Expert Review Sources
- RunRepeat : 88.6 / 100 — « The Saucony Terminal VT delivers exactly what many track athletes are looking for: low weight, high energy return, and a secure race-day fit. We were impressed by how effortlessly it disappeared on foot, while the highly-breathable upper and responsive midsole made every workout feel fast. We also found that the flexible Pebax plate gives the shoe a more forgiving character than most elite spikes. Although the unusual upper won't suit every runner, and the lack of a carbon plate may deter some, we believe the overall package offers amazing value. »
